I'm 42 I have 3 grown kids and a granddaughter I'm tired of not being able to walk around due to back pain I have done the pain management and that did not work. I have been researching the gastric sleeve. And wanted to do it in the USA but the insurance co would not cover it and I couldn't afford it there. My doctor told me about one of her patients having in done in Mexico she gave my number to her and we talked about an hour that had my mind made up I had my surgery June 3 2015 with Dr Almanza he was very nice . Since my surgery I have lost 30 pounds and I'm able to walk farther then before and stand for a longer time. I have more energy. I'm excited to start this new journey my doctor was just as excited for me she said when I lost a total of 60 pounds I should be off my blood pressure medicine
